Bank Holiday Blues

Please give me a tickle tum

The radio told me it is Bank Holiday today. Really? What difference does that make to me? To me it’s the same as any other day. I get up sometime between 6 and 8 am when Mum decides to get up, let me out for a pee, clear up then feed me.

Then it is her turn for breakfast. I leave her alone while she eats it, sitting in her favourite chair watching the birds outside, whilst I amuse myself. Then she drinks her second cup of coffee and picks up her laptop. I try to distract her from it by plonking my paw on the keyboard, thus making her next words appear in CAPITALS. She then talks to me in CAPITALS too, if you know what I mean.

That doesn’t faze me much. I can deal with that. No problem.

Visiting

We went to visit some of Mum’s friends yesterday
who sat in their garden chatting most of the day.
I was hoping that someone would play ball with me
but in case I escaped I was tied to a tree.

I just sat and watched them, being very good,
while everybody there was eating their food.
I was getting a bit bored and started to yawn
so my auntie took me for a stroll round the lawn.

I like visiting because people are such fun
but I wish that we could all have had a good run.
When we went home I let off some steam in our park
running between mum and auntie. That was a lark.

I’m being very good sitting here watching you all eat

I’m bored now.

Won’t someone come and play with me?

at least I can run round and around my autie

That was fun. Can we do it again?

Getting Muddy

I had a brilliant time yesterday
when Mum let me off of my lead to play
out in the park where there’s a little brook
and I got myself all covered in muck!
What fun, tee hee 😉

I found a big stick and ran off with it
but then Mum called me back waving a treat
and after running around like crazy
I had a rest and posed like a daisy
tied to a tree. 🙂

Our Garden Party

Mum had a garden party here yesterday to celebrate her birthday. It wasn’t a very warm day, so most people ate indoors. It was a bit scary having loads of noisy people milling around so I stayed in my room and in my run most of the time. Anyway, Mum wouldn’t let me in the kitchen or the living room where all the food was, in case I stole something. As if!
